15. About Sonny Perdue and the RDA

Sonny Perdue is not related to the chicken family, but he is veterinarian and runs a small agribusiness, so he is one of the few Trump cabinet picks that actually knows about his own Department RDA is the Rural Developent Administration which funds development projects in rural areas. Think of it as HUD for rural areas.

Purdue is not in favor of cutting RDA. He is probably the only person in the Trump Administration that actually.knows what it does. Last week he submitted a plan to elevate the profile of RDA by having it report directly to him.

RDA enjoys broad bipartisan in Congress, call your Congressman of either party, especially if you live in a rural district, and tell them to save RDA. Also call USDA and voice your support for RDA. I believe that Purdue wants to save RDA and can use your help.
